I was feeling very daring with this purchase as I took on the task of putting ot together myself and I must say, i did a pretty good job. All parts were nicely wrapped and labeled. It was a little tricky seeing some areas that needed to be screwed b.c they were underneath the shelf. I would not choose to put something with this many screws together again but im proud i did and very satisfied with the outcome. Ive gotten many compliments and adds style to my living area.
